VOTERS BACK BALANCED PARLIAMENT

CELTIC ALLIANCE COULD HOLD REAL INFLUENCE

More voters are backing a balanced Parliament than want to see either
Labour or the Tories in Government, a poll has revealed.

The Populus poll for the Times reflects the level to which voters are
dissatisfied with all the London parties and are looking for an
alternative. It shows 32% of people back a balanced Parliament – more than
support each of the UK parties forming a Government.

Commenting on the results SNP Westminster Leader Angus Robertson said:
“A balanced Parliament offers real opportunity to voters in Scotland and
Wales and is now the most popular choice amongst voters looking for an
alternative to the London party machine.

“Labour and Tory efforts to frighten the public have failed as across the
UK they reject the false promises and phoney war of the metropolitan
parties and look toward a fresh start for politics.

“In a balanced parliament a Celtic Alliance of the SNP and Plaid Cymru
will see Scotland’s voice and Scotland’s views placed at the heart of
Westminster’s decisions.

“With the three London parties offering an agenda of cuts, cuts and more
cuts, it’s no surprise voters across the UK are searching for an
alternative.

“At this election a strong bloc of SNP and Plaid MPs, using our votes and
influence to win vital concessions, can protect Scotland and Wales.”
